A global crisis sparked by unregulated or illegal hunting and trapping means 301 different<br /> species – from monkeys to bats – are now in danger, a new study claims. Experts at Oregon State University in the<br /> US, who conducted the research, have warned the decline is having a significant environmental impact and<br /> undermining the food security of millions of people in Asia, Africa and South America. “Our goal is to raise<br /> awareness of this global crisis. Many of these animals are at the brink of extinction. The illegal smuggling in<br /> wildlife and wildlife products is run by dangerous international networks and ranks among trafficking in arms,<br /> human beings and drugs in terms of profits,” said study leader Professor William Ripple.<br /> Researchers concluded that bold changes and political will were needed to diminish the possibility of<br /> humans consuming many of the world’s wild mammals to the point of extinction. Of the species affected, 126 were<br /> primates, more than any other group, according to a team of researchers writing in the journal Royal Society Open<br /> Science. Animal rights activists said the study should serve as a wake-up call to protect endangered species from<br /> extinction. “This research should be heart-stopping news for anyone who cares about wild animal welfare and the<br /> health of our planet. Urgent action needs to be taken by governments across the globe to protect these hundreds of<br /> threatened species from extinction,” Dr Neil D’Cruze, Head of Wildlife Research and Policy at World Animal<br /> Protection told The Independent.<br /> The authors found that wild meat made up a crucial part of global diets, with an estimated 89,000 tonnes<br /> harvested annually in the Brazilian Amazon alone. They also found overhunting to be mainly associated with<br /> poorer countries, where hunters might find it harder to feed their families. The research also showed much of the<br /> wild animal meat was sold in street markets and destined to become urban restaurant delicacies.<br /> In 2010, another study found that about five tonnes of bushmeat was smuggled weekly in tourist luggage<br /> through Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, France. Dr D’Cruze said: “There are also the too often forgotten welfare<br /> impacts and high levels of suffering that animals, like primates, endure when captured and slaughtered for bush<br /> meat or the illegal wildlife trade. We must prevent the extinction of these incredible species, but we must also<br /> eradicate the pain and suffering being inflicted on millions of animals as we speak.” Large carnivores and<br /> herbivores over 10 kg comprised a small percentage of the animals listed but were hit more severely by<br /> overhunting, it was claimed. Scientists also warned the loss of large mammals could result in population explosions<br /> of prey animals, greater risk of disease and economic impact on humans. The study found that 57 large species of<br /> even-toed ungulates, including hippopotamus, wild yak, camel and marsh deer, were threatened by hunting. Smaller<br /> mammals were said to play crucial roles in dispersing seeds, pollinating plants and controlling insects. Wild ox,<br /> camels, pigs, fruit bats, rhinoceroses, tapirs, deer, tree kangaroos, armadillos, pangolins, rodents and big cats, were<br /> all said to be affected.<br /> (Source: https://www.independent.co.uk)<br /> Question 1.

As it often is with catchphrases,<br /> hardly anyone knows what these phrases really mean or how they relate to each other.<br /> In the past 100 years, in our effort to make the Earth a more civilized place, industrial production has<br /> increased by fifty times. Four fifths of that growth has come since 1950. This production - most of it based on the<br /> burning of wood, and of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas - has greatly increased the amount of carbon<br /> dioxide in the atmosphere. When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon into the air in the form of carbon<br /> dioxide. Carbon dioxide allows heat that would normally escape from the Earth's atmosphere to remain trapped, as<br /> it would in a greenhouse - thus the greenhouse effect.<br /> When do you burn fossil fuels? When you turn on a light, or run an air conditioner, or take a hot shower, or<br /> make toast, you contribute to the greenhouse effect. It is a by-product of the use of energy- electricity, gasoline, or<br /> oil.<br /> But how can carbon dioxide be bad when human beings exhale it every time they breathe? Plants need<br /> carbon dioxide; they use it to grow. Oceans absorb it. And forests drink it in. Without carbon dioxide, the average<br /> surface temperature on Earth would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 59 degrees Fahrenheit. In nature, carbon<br /> dioxide is necessary and harmless. Here is the problem: in our effort to make the world a more comfortable place,<br /> people have produced far too much of it.<br /> Scientists have calculated that the atmosphere before the Industrial Revolution contained about 280 parts<br /> per million of carbon dioxide - the highest level recorded in the past 160,000 years. The current reading is near 360<br /> parts per million. In the next 140 years, the carbon dioxide level should reach at least 560 parts per million.<br /> We have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the air by 25 percent in the past century. Carbon<br /> dioxide is not exclusively responsible for the greenhouse problem, however. Other greenhouse gases include<br /> chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen oxides and methane.<br /> (Source: IELTS_ Reading)<br /> Question 43. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?<br /> A. Global warming and its effects.<br /> B. The relationship between greenhouse effect, global warming and climate change.<br /> C. The burning of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide.<br /> D. Carbon dioxide influences the surface temperature on earth.<br /> <br /> Trang 5 / 6 – Mã đề 845<br /> <br />
